Uh, Ray Dalio has been known to be a "piece of work" even in the finance industry for well over a decade. He was making headlines for being a self-important pseudo-intellectual-swami back when I was working munis around 2008. It's not just this author - ahem, I'll take a crack at it:

Ray Dalio is a perfect example of a person being analytically and synthetically successful and otherwise covering for severe character defects like Steve Jobs and in the big picture guys look like him are a fucking joke and anybody who takes them seriously as "leaders" should be smacked around a few times with a hardcover biography of Teddy Roosevelt.

Dalio might not be able to juggle but he's still a clown who gets clicks.
